intricate flower parts glow in morning sun...
center whorl sparkles with dew this morning...
finally caught the sun-drunk tiger swallowtail butterfly feasting at the butterfly bush bar with the macro...
liriope emerges from morning haze...
passiflora pose with crape myrtle in the background...
potager with various mildewed cuke and zuch vines... the sunflower at the top of the post is seen nodding in the lower left corner of the potager...
inner workings of sneeze weed...
faded echinacea backlit by morning sun...
hydrangea limelight is huge - my neighbor is behind it mowing! i planted it 4 years ago, i think...
morning glories celebrating in the potager.

Yes, a few days that feel like summer, finally! And so much to enjoy in the garden! Wonderful photos and descriptions :) I'm picturing you finding all these treasures with your camera :)
That's a perfect shot of the swallowtail. Aren't they gorgeous?
Our Limelight is looking pretty, with lots of blooms, but it's only about 3 ft high, a fraction of the size of your beautiful shrub. Yours looks fantastic!
The potager is a great place for the morning glories and sunflowers...and everything else!
Our tomatoes have succumbed to late blight too. What a bummer! Just one cherry tom plant that's been producing some nice fruit, but it's going downhill fast now.
Happy August, Em!!
Beautiful flowers :)
Love the sunflowers Em...beautifully captured in all their showy magnificance!
a big hello to your artistic daughter too Em!
